    Who in their right mind would waste any of their time reading the rags they try to pass off for newspapers today. They are filled with more lies and propaganda than what a comrade would read in Russia. The myth of global warming as presented by dim witted money hungry politicians. did you know gore used more electricity in just one of his homes than what is used in 232 average homes. Is he that much better and more deserving than you or me? Obama for president, come on there isn't one place on Planet Earth where blacks are in control that is even civilized much less progressive. If your white take a little stroll with your favorite girl in Detroit or St. Louis after dark. YIKES SOMEONES GETTING RAPED AND SOMEONES GETTING ROBBED. People are tired of the trash newspapers try to pass of as news and truth and that is it in a nutshell. Bye Bye Trashy Rags..

    LA Times is just another liberal bastion of lies ….. that is why it is hemorrhaging money. All of these liberal newspapers are losing support, therefore, money to run its enterprise. Good riddance!

    9/11 took place for a reason. So that the US would respond by attcking and starting a war they can't win. In turn the war is costing the US heaps of money and causing a recession. This is what the Taliban wants. George Bush should be executed.

    It's great to be a Canadian!!!

    Re: shan – false flag operations. look it up. Rogue elements in our own government were behind the 9/11 attacks. www.infowars.com It's time we all grew up a bit and looked at the facts about 9/11. the media won't do it for you so do it yourself.

    Canada's parliament asked for a new investigation into 9/11 because they don't buy the bullshit story our government has given them. Realize of all the suspected hijackers that the media posted on television and print for months, none were found to actually be involved. Find out what else you don't know about at www.infowars.com

    Super fuck you i hope you die slow,i am typing with my cellphone that what the errow is.my blackberry 8700 is fucking up.so dont bring that your not american bullshit cause i will kill you.BROOKLYN NY all day.

  40. 40

    Why would someone wish the Tribune Company to go under? They have been around for over a hundred years providing quality print journalism to LA, Chicago, Baltimore and Orlando. Plus they employ thousands. For those of you who say newspapers will die are wrong, newspaper will continue to thrive if they adapt to change and create unique ways to provide content to their users. There is still a market for them, I'm 25 and read the paper everyday and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Maybe before you make your stupid comments, you will do a little research.

    YES WE CAN!
    VOTE BARACK OBAMA
    AND STOP BEEN ON ON RACIST.

  42. 42

    Actually, it's great news! the L.A PRAVDA is a PLO/ARAB/Terrorist loving bunch and it's great to see that this left wing shit rag is hurting. Their downfall is because they offer what many people are getting tired of reading and that's a leftist agenda.

    What do you expect, all the newspapers have web sites that
    give their news away. WHY would anyone buy a paper. It is
    the most stupid thing any newspaper acn have is a website!!

    so i guess starbucks, newspapers, and real estate are all declining because of Bush and those damn Republicans…gimme a break
    1) starbucks cannibalized its business for years and got away with it until every fast food chain came out with better coffee drinks for cheaper!
    2)the only thing keeping newspapers afloat for years has been classified ads! what did they think would happen now that people can place ads for FREE online instead of paying ridiculous fees for a tiny ad.
    3)the majority of these homes getting forclosed on were built by morons who got carried away with the "housing boom" and built mansions in the middle of nowhere!!!

    reality sucks, but its easy to blame Bush when his ratings are low….

    MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    but you forget to mention the fact that so many more people are employed now in the blog arena - including you yourself. you just like to spread fear mario like everyone else!!

    Those who say that Bush's policies have not lead to this weak economy were the same ones who blamed Bill Clinton if the sky turned cloudy in the 1990s. Of course the President bears some responsibility for economic conditions - particularly when they have been President for 7.5 years.

    Re: Just – you know, bush also brought change. and he preached change. so we got "change". perhaps not just slurring what everyone is slurring on the bandwagon might put this country in better shape. people like you probably voted for bush anyway.

    Re: nycit – The economy didn't start turning shitty until the Dumocratic controlled Congress, who has more power than the President, took over two years ago. Taxing people more and sticking businesses with regulation don't help an economy. That's what dems are all about. Open your eyes douche.

    Re: goods – There is really no need to get person, I was just making a point. In 5-10 years, there will still be newspapers, trust me, people like myself, our parents and grandparents will still be reading them. They may not be like the newspapers were reading today, but they will reflect the style of newspapers 80-100 years ago.

    One last comment - Grow Up.

    When dumb Obama gets elected you will see more of these useless papers go out of business. No one cares for these leftist pseudo communist newspapers anymore. When the Democrats start dumping it's far left wing nuts then maybe we will see some real presidential material and then also read Real news stories.

    It's really really funny how conservatives complain about 'liberal news rags' and whatever, but they continue to read this website, probably one of the bastions of unintelligent, useless and spiteful 'journalism' ever conceived. If you are 'conservative', then why the hell are you reading a website full of crotch shots and other useless shit?

    Re: Clare
    First off, I don't consider Perez a journalist, he's a gossip columnist. He doesn't try (that hard) to shape public opinion by slanted reporting of news, other than celebrity gossip, which nobody gives a shit about anyway. I think your stereotype of a typical "conservative" is completely out of whack.. we like to read unintelligent celeb gossip just as much as the wheat-grass drinking, birkenstock wearing, tree hugging liberals :)

    Perez you fagtard. It's a great day for the US, a bad day for newspapers that want to print and drive a liberal agenda rather than print the news. Nobody buys their shit anymore. Maybe if they would stick to just reporting news, they would become relevant again.
